Behavior

We appreciate your support in helping with your child's behaviors at school by talking with them at home! Please continue those conversations about the expectations at school. While we see behavior improving, we are still working on classroom disruptions and distractions that take away from teachers being able to teach and the disruptions taking away from other students' learning. We will continue to enforce proper behavior in the hallways and classrooms, as well as continuing to make sure students are always respectful to others.


We are still striving to keep a safe and orderly learning environment. We have quite a few end of the year festivities, including field trips, that we would hate to see students miss because of inappropriate behavior.

Student Success

It is important for your child to exhibit responsibility to be successful. Please remind your students that a key piece to this is communication.

Your child should be able to know:


  • How to check their email daily
  • That they should email their teachers if they have questions
  • To check TeacherEase for missing assignments and Grades
